Suleikha Snyder

Absolutely stunning. Wow.

Can the Lone Gunmen join in on the beatdown? I think they’d enjoy that. Scully’s their queen, too.

I’m up to 8.16. Going to bed after this. But Mulder’s been back for half an episode, treating Scully like shit, and I need Doggett and Skinner to beat his ass like a three-egg omelet.

A square graphic with a fiery orange sky and black cityscape. "Kick at the Darkness by Suleikha Snyder" is in flourishing typeface at the bottom. Above it in regular text is the following excerpt “I didn’t want to care,” he said, halting a few feet from the first step. He pivoted to face her. “Those first few years. I didn’t want to care about anything at all. There was just too much loss, too much death, too much blood. I was drenched with it, drowning in it. But I never took a drink. Not even to stop the nightmares.” The black ink flames at his throat seemed to flicker as he swallowed hard. As he drew in a shuddering breath. “My only vice was you.”

Zombie apocalypse. Pandemic allegory. Bengali Muslim-Hindu immigrant relations. Sexual relations. KICK AT THE DARKNESS has a LOT going on for a story that clock in at 10K and costs $1.99!

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

You were diabolical and I love it.

I choked laughing.

I see the National Guard are here in our war zone now. When they’re done picking up trash and raking leaves in the Chicagoland suburbs and downtown, maybe they can move a table into the alley for me. Drop off some clothing donation bags.

She was the best part!

Skinner and Doggett would rather let Mulder die than dare hurt Scully and her baby. And I love that energy. “Fuck Mulder. We already buried him once.” 😂

Man, Brian Thompson was *everywhere* during that era. He did a lot of neck-stabbing on the X-Files.

Scully's very blatantly a grieving widow and Skinner's always trying to shore her up or comfort her. It's the sweetest thing.

Folks, I'm cackling. I wrote a Doggett/Reyes ficlet in 2001. In second-person POV. And I take a shot at Robert Patrick's inconsistent accent. lol.

One of the best things about season 8 of X-Files is how Skinner’s like “My agents secretly being in love and having a baby together is the least weird thing about this life, so I’m going to roll with it.”

I will stop talking about this show at some point, I swear.

Dolly Parton cannot die on the same date as my dad. I will go throw myself into Lake Michigan right now.

listen. when dolly parton’s sister says it’s time for us all to be prayer warriors for dolly. you fucking pray for dolly

Grief is weird. Brains are weird. Film at 11.

30 years and counting.

Dmitri Shostakovich saw Jesus Christ Superstar! He also liked it so much he considered writing a rock music themed suite (like his earlier Jazz suites) but died soon after.

No saffron in the recipe either. And it’s way more expensive than turmeric. lol

I’m sure Ezri was a delightful person to get to know, but I was still hurting every time I looked at her face.

He looks way better dressed down than he does in suits.

Same. We are all in thrall to Dana Katherine Scully.

Earlier today, I finished the episode where he finds out she's pregnant and I am still beside myself. He was so hurt that she had secrets. And his little face when she finally told him...oof!

😂 They'd basically do anything to make her happy. Including each other.

I am hoping I can sustain this energy. 🤞🏽As soon as I'm sure I won't chuck in the drawer, I absolutely will.

Writing these character archetypes makes me have to explore deep and penetrating questions like "Would someone like Doggett be okay with choking on Skinner's dick?"

I have somehow written 2000 words between last night and today. I guess it's a South Asian romantasy? Which is the professional way of saying "Scully's now a brown queen in a hostile kingdom, Mulder's presumed dead, and it's all an excuse for her to bang Skinner and Doggett."

Happy release day!! 🍾🎉
